Jaggy1967 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Whats the thoughts on us making an effort and playing a decent team ? Not sure about our starved pals from the east end but lets hope we have a good game ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Think we'll play the best team we can: ......................Fox Paton.....Kinniburgh.....Archibald.....Sinclair Campbell.....Rowson.....Cairney.....Erskine ................Stewart.....Doolan Subs: Scully Gallagher Balatoni Lindsay Bannigan Flannigan McGrotty Fraser Grehan Not sure of the formation, but think that'll be the players picked.

1 John Lambie Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 What about Celtic 1JL ? No idea, but should include (of players most will probably have heard of): Izaguirre, McCourt, Loovens, Hooiveld, Thompson, Rasmussen (Samaras?) & O'Dea as well as youth/reserve players.

My team would the same as yours with one exception - Flannigan replacing Campbell who has had plenty of pre-season time already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking was if Izaguirre is playing, having Flannigan backtracking with him could end in disaster with Paton being left exposed against someone with good skill & pace. Campbell, imo, would be better at tracking back. Flannigan is the more creative player, but with Erskine having 2 in the team might be stretching it a little.

twinny Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Strongest team: Fox Paton Balatoni Archie Sinclair Rowson Bannigan Stewart Erskine Grehan Doolan However I think we'll see the few guys we've been looking at lately play as trialists at some point. Paton certainly won't play a full game, and McNamara will want to try different midfield options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagsfan58 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) For me Fox Paton Balatoni Archie Sinclair Rowson Bannigan Cairney Erskine Stewart Doolan Kinniburgh, Flannigan and Grehan being the unlucky ones to miss out. I really hope Bannigan gets a start, looks like the creative player we need, though will require to rely on Paul getting forward to provide the width.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Rather ironically Bannigan is one of our more experienced in regard to playing SPL sides. I realise the Celtic side won't be filled to the brim with top team players but the occasion shouldn't unsettle him. Not given much thought to our starting eleven but I'd guess J McN will go with a strong starting team maybe more 4-4-2 than 4-3-3 (he could maybe put an extra midfielder in place of Grehan?). I fully expect that the side that finishes the game will be predominately younger members of the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) I think that Campbell and a few players will be rested to give more game time to others. My team would be Fox Paton Balatoni Kinniburgh Sinclair Flannigan Bannigan McBeth Erskine Stewart Doolan Subs Scully Campbell Archibald Cairney Rowson Grehan Edited July 16, 2011 by kni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Crowd is a healthy 5,231. Just for accuracy, most of those in the north and the main stands were probably far from healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
